Funny thing, I used a similar method to get the heights of all the components right, went to get it corner balanced and it was almost exactly right. Guy said that if you were very careful and thoughtful in installing your suspension, corner balancing wasn't necessary.

As you can see, the left rear is a bit higher than the right rear, but that was intentional. When I'm in the car, that wheel supports much more of my weight than any other, so it will squat down the most.
I have an autocross tomorrow at a location that will allow me to really test these shocks out. It is a very large tarmac that was used many years ago as some sort of helicopter training facility. Over the decades, the surface has deteriorated, so there are lots of bumps, pot holes, patches, and gravel. Due to its size, the courses are always long and fast. I've hit 4th gear out there many times. Also, due to low registration for this event, we should get 8-10 runs!

BTW, I just had an awesome day at my first autocross with these coilovers! I will post more about it tomorrow, but the short story is that I got FTD (fastest time of the day) by 1.49 seconds! The last time I got FTD at an autocross was 2003!
